I've had instances where I was so stressed i needed to play a game to relieve it, but that of course gets interrupted by a family member calling for me and disrupting my game session, making my mood worse. Is it too much to ask for an hour to vent?

I play shooters or listen to music to iron it out and relax for a while. I help out more than i need to and relaxation seems more like a luxury now in this house. I have nowhere else to go, and jobs are much harder to find, plus my laptop got hacked and wrecked.

Brother won't replace it, because he thinks it ain't worth fixing... so a computer which will be used for travel isn't worth it? Are you kidding me? That was a gift, and means a lot to me. Now all i have is this pc and it being a family one doesn't help matters.

Only alone time i get is if nobody needs anything done, which would be almost never. I do my chores, and even help go get food for the house. I have stories to write and music to edit, I need this time to myself to think; not be called upon for some simple task that they can do themselves.

Never a day when i do have such a luxury.
